One Mission.
50 years of faithfulness.
Since 1975 — and since River of Life Revival Ministries started in 1998 — Mark & Lois Simpson have continued reach the nations with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Teaching the Gospel. Strengthening the Church.
Raising Up Disciple-Makers.
River of Life Revival Ministries began in 1998 with a vision to meet a growing need across Latin America: pastors and churches in desperate need of theological training, discipleship support and long-term mentorship. But the roots of that vision stretch back further — back to 1975, when Mark and Lois Simpson surrendered their lives to Christ, were married and stepped into full-time missions.
From the very beginning, this ministry has been about presence, not just preaching. We believe the Gospel multiplies best when it’s taught with clarity, modeled with humility and planted in the soil of real relationship.
Over the past 50 years, River of Life has trained pastors, launched Bible schools, led mission teams and discipled believers in more than a dozen nations — across Latin America, the United States, our own home cities and even the remote regions of Asia. Wherever God opens a door, we go.

How We Serve
Our work is rooted in four spheres of Gospel influence:
- Latin America – Our original mission field
- The United States – Hispanic congregations in need of training and discipleship
- Our Home Sphere – Ministry rooted in Nashville and Chicago
- Asia – Support for proven co-laborers reaching the unreached
We don’t just preach and leave. We return, we build, we stay. Because disciple-making takes time — and that’s what we’re here for every day of our lives.
